Exists Note

Overview​

This video demonstrates the Exists Note command in Nitro-CELL, which checks whether a specific note exists on the active Creo model. The command returns a boolean result indicating the presence or absence of the named note. This is a useful validation step before attempting to get, set, or delete a note, as operations on non-existent notes will fail. The video shows how to use Exists Note as a pre-check in automation workflows, enabling conditional logic that creates missing notes or skips operations when a note is not found.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the target model in the Creo session
  2. Enter the Exists Note command with the note name to check
  3. Execute the command to determine if the note exists
  4. Read the boolean result from the output column
  5. Use the result to conditionally execute subsequent note operations

Tips​

  • Use Exists before Get or Delete to avoid errors on models without the note
  • Combine with SetCreate for workflows where the note should be created if missing
  • This command is read-only and does not modify the model
